Couldn’t agree more. My DS started CAP his sophomore year in High School. Moved up the ranks quickly, did his O-flight, did a Spring Encampment at GLNA, earned several awards including the Billy Mitchell Award, Cadet of the year and Flight Honor Cadet. Was offered a Falcon Scholarship, attended...

Thanks I appreciate that! I honestly am not the biggest Facebook fan to begin with. As a matter fact my account was scheduled for deletion until it was recommended that I join the parent pages. I follow the official Pages on Twitter and do likes and retweets and that’s about it. And don’t...

My apologies. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble, I was just curious since there are tons of things that come up that I have never heard of. Is there a way to contact the moderator and have this post and it’s thread deleted?

Whoa, I did not realize it was supposed to be top-secret seeing as how it was already on Facebook. Thanks for the tip and I will tread lightly in the future!!

Thanks for the response Hoodlum! A-Day can’t get here fast enough! I’m impatient and curious, a great combo for a soon to be military mom!! You’ve been super-helpful and I really appreciate you being so kind and quick to respond to my sometimes neurotic line of questioning!!

I hadn’t heard this terms until a parent posted on FB. From my understanding, they get woken up at 2am to tear down the tents and there’s a tournament with the pugil sticks. They are due to march back from JV on August 1st so I was curious as to the timing. The post on FB says that this happens...

Ugh, I know that feeling! My DS looked awful as well and it was terrible seeing that picture. But thanks for the info on the rotation!!

Thanks! That is what I am learning to accept.That they are given these challenges and obstacles on purpose and they’re not supposed to sail through everything with ease. It’s supposed to make them tougher on the other side. You guys of all been great and I really love the hot pepper diversion...

Thanks, that really does help since it was more of a curiosity question rather than a worrywart one for a change! And as one other poster mentioned in a reply to me, I am learning to take the hint from the popular song and “Let it go!” IMHO, this forum has been 100x more useful for me than the...

I’m wondering if anyone knows the schedule or rotation for their time at Jack’s Valley. Do they do two courses per day? Did they do any courses more than once? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback support, I really appreciate the folks on this forum! Happy to report that new pictures are up and he’s giving a thumbs up all clear with a big smile at the gun range. Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for the input! Twice?? Wow!! I’ll continue to worry, I don’t think parents (at least mom) ever have the ability to turn that off. Web guy can be a double-edged sword, but for the 99% of the time when I see great pictures of him looking strong and smiling with his new friends it gives me...

Thank you for the reply! This forum has been a lifesaver for me [emoji631][emoji1431][emoji173]️

Thank you! This helps me a great deal and allows me to put things in perspective. I’m very new to this whole game and I’m not sure what to expect but it is nice to get information from someone who has gone through it before.

Thank you so much for your response. It really did help to set my mind at ease. I’ve kind of been a basket case through this whole thing, and I’ve found that the people on this forum have been very helpful and have talked me off of several edges so far! Thanks again.

Hi everyone. My DS is on the last leg at Jack’s Valley and his squadron did the tear gas training. I’m freaking a little because he appeared to be doubled over, most likely vomiting and seem to have an overall rough go of this portion of the BCT. Some kids appear to seem happy with thumbs up and...

First of all, I had a chance to speak with my wonderful DS for about an hour today before he nearly fell asleep on the phone and just missed him self for a nap! Before signing off, he mentioned that squadron leader ship specifically stated three times not to post anything on social media. I see...

I definitely see your point. For that very reason I was hesitant to sign up for Webguy. I’m glad I did it for a multitude of reasons. I have gotten a lot of great pictures and gives me some idea of what his days are like. But also very recently it gave me peace of mind. In the second letter of...

Saturday Morning Inspection [emoji4]

Hi everyone! So I just noticed this topic trending on the parents Facebook page. Apparently there is some sort of basket that were supposed to order for acceptance day??? Then of course there are the calls to do something for spirit mission. Honestly I feel like right now I’m being pulled in a...
